2002: The Year of Living Dangerously

Dec. 31 Theres one in every family the conspiracy theorist uncle, certain that the world is run by a secret cabal. Or maybe its the dotty aunt who bolts her door with 14 locks, too racked with paranoia to leave the house.

TAKE A GOOD look, America.
OK. You can put the mirror down now.
This was the year Americans confronted the awful aftermath of 9/11. It gave us time to put the event in context, to assess what we are and how we see ourselves as a nation.
It was the year America became a player in a Pedro Almodvar film a Nation on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.
We made an accommodation with our anxiety, but we did not come to a particularly flattering arrangement.

Dec. 31 ? There?s one in every family ? the conspiracy theorist uncle, certain that the world is run by a secret cabal. Or maybe it?s the dotty aunt who bolts her door with 14 locks, too racked with paranoia to leave the house.

Please no Masonic jokes.

Fact is, more people will die in the next 24 hr's from drinking and driving than did on 9/11/01, Life goes on and instead of this self analyzing crap, just be pissed off and kick some serious ass that is long over due IMHO.

The world needs to grow up and if it can't play nice, dad needs to get out the switch. Most of the world lives in the dark ages still. Too many people with power that shouldn't be even be running the swing shift at a Dairy Queen. The wold leaders, most, are two faced shit heads.

God save us from mans ambitions. It's hard to have lofty thoughts when the immature of intellect runs the wolds country's and the media.
